Your poems have a pop cultural feel to them: they are eminently singable, breezy, and fun. You are probably not a venerated political or religious personality if you are composing or singing these poems before a public audience; they lack the corresponding gravitas, and the sentiments expressed are lighthearted and even a little trite.
